The Sacramento Brief, December 26, 2025 · The Sacramento Brief

• 0:04
  Good morning. This is the Sacramento Brief, your
• 0:08
  weekday roundup of overnight headlines and what's
• 0:11
  ahead across the city. I'm Carol. It's Friday,
• 0:16
  December 26, 2025. Let's get you caught up. The
• 0:20
  California Highway Patrol is investigating a
• 0:23
  fatal hit and run that killed a pedestrian Wednesday
• 0:25
  morning near Waterman and Florin Roads. Authorities
• 0:29
  say the victim was found in a roadside ditch
• 0:31
  after being struck by a vehicle. If you're walking
• 0:34
  near a roadway, stay alert. Make eye contact
• 0:36
  when possible and assume that drivers may not
• 0:39
  see you. Unfortunately, defensive walking matters.
• 0:44
  And don't assume that because you have the right
• 0:46
  -of -way, it's safe. As my grandmother would
• 0:48
  say, having the right -of -way won't make you
• 0:51
  less dead. Use caution because not every driver
• 0:54
  is paying attention. And while that investigation
• 0:57
  underscores how quickly a moment can turn tragic,
• 1:00
  another loss this holiday season is being felt
• 1:03
  deeply within the local law enforcement community.
• 1:07
  A Sacramento County Sheriff's deputy was killed
• 1:10
  early Christmas Eve in a solo vehicle crash while
• 1:14
  heading to work. Deputy James Caravallo, a 19
• 1:18
  -year veteran, was on his way to the Rio Cosimnes
• 1:21
  Correctional Center. The Sheriff's Office is
• 1:24
  asking the community to keep his family and colleagues
• 1:27
  in your thoughts. In today's weather, it'll bring
• 1:31
  us mostly cloudy skies with rain developing after
• 1:34
  2 p .m. with a high near 55 and a breezy southwest
• 1:39
  wind gusting up to 28 miles per hour. Rain tapers
• 1:43
  off before 10 p .m. with lows around 46, lighter
• 1:47
  winds, and a few lingering showers possible.
• 1:51
  In City Watch, today marks the first day of Kwanzaa,
• 1:54
  beginning with Umoja, the principle of unity
• 1:59
  that celebrates family, community and coming
• 2:01
  together. If you'd like to join in, I have included
• 2:05
  links in today's show notes to Kwanzaa events
• 2:07
  happening across the city. And while Kwanzaa
• 2:11
  celebrates honor, tradition and togetherness,
• 2:14
  the city's nightlife is keeping the holiday energy
• 2:17
  going with a very different way. Late tonight,
• 2:21
  the Electric Workshop takes over a North Pole
• 2:25
  themed rave at Tiger Restaurant and Lounge on
• 2:28
  K Street. It's an adult only dress the theme
• 2:32
  dance party running from 9 p .m. until the early
• 2:35
  morning hours. And if you're not ready to slow
• 2:38
  it down just yet, Tiger keeps the energy rolling
• 2:41
  into Saturday night with Snow Day. This is an
• 2:45
  all white winter party. Takes over Tiger. Lounge
• 2:50
  again, that'll be at K Street, 9 p .m. Blending
• 2:54
  R &B, hip hop and top 100 hits with ice inspired
• 2:59
  visuals and high fashion vibes. Guests are encouraged
• 3:04
  to wear all white and the first 500 RSVPs can
• 3:08
  get in free. Details in the show notes. And for
• 3:12
  something calmer and restorative this weekend.
• 3:16
  ArtRx returns Saturday morning at the Crocker
• 3:19
  Art Museum. The free program invites people living
• 3:23
  with chronic pain along with family, friends,
• 3:25
  and caregivers to enjoy a guided conversation
• 3:28
  around the art gallery from 11 to 1215 and no
• 3:35
  art experience is required. The Crocker Creative
• 3:39
  Aging Initiative is making this possible with
• 3:42
  the support from Eschaton. That's all for today's
• 3:47
  Sacramento Brief. You'll find the links for today's
• 3:50
  events in the show notes. I'm Carol. Thank you
• 3:53
  for trusting me with your morning. Be safe, stay
• 3:56
  sharp, and I'll see you Monday.
